Owen Does Join Stoke

After the negotiating period had been settled, Owen successfully passed a medical and put pen-to-paper on a one year contract that will see the player, released by United this summer, earn £25,000 a week but substantially more if he plays and scores regularly.

Various sources infer that Owen, in the year he`s signed for, could earn a cool £2.5 million.

Here at Vital Manchester United, we wish him well and await the crossing of our paths.
